my 87 does the same thing. i found if just a small light on the sensor located just off the lft upper corner of the dash gets light, it lights my dash like a new car. i believe that sensor is MY particular problem.
Check the park lamp fuse.
To force the dash lights to stay bright on a 1984 Corvette, simply turn the dial to its highest setting. The dial can be found to the left of the steering wheel. On some makes, however, the dial is located near the odometer.
How do you turn on dash lights 1993 mercury grand marquis
Head lights
There is a vacuum line attached to the back of the headlight switch on the dash. When you pull the switch out to turn on the lights this allows vacuum to open the light doors through rubber vacuum lines. When you turn the lights off this cuts the vacuum to the lights and a spring opperates the doors and closes them.
There is a power or ground wire hooked up backwards. (95%sure)
you havent turend them off
i have the same problem my dash light turns on when i turn on the interior lights but when i turn on only ........the dash light they wont turn on but they work when the interior lights are on ........so they do work .,...is there a separate fuse ?
If the bulb will not work the fuses under the dash should be checked. When these fuse fail the brake lights will not turn on.
